This is similar to how I used the internet in the early 90s as well, but instead of the library I was lucky enough to have an older cousin who got me the University’s dialup number to some VAX system gateway that was supposed to do something or other but probably not let me telnet anywhere without signing in. I had to hunt for servers that had gopher/lynx on them which didn’t have any login. I vaguely remember having to do something similar to this post to navigate somewhere that would allow me to bring up search or enter a URL. This was all done on a C64 and a 1200 baud modem, along with this incredible software I was able to find on local BBSes called NovaTerm - an 80 column terminal on a Commodore 64 was black magic at the time. That disk was my prized possession and I almost wore it out.
